No one could say whether that dull toll had startled anyone else, but the nine people in the Three Powers Correct Array, who bore the brunt of it, could not take it.
Nutrient Solution's attack had actually been aimed at them, so it affected her own people far less.
Thanks to the Identification Badge, Qu Jianlei's team currently did not need to worry much about friendly fire.
However, artifact attacks differed somewhat from spells. The Identification Badge could not grant complete immunity, and slight friendly fire was unavoidable.
Zi Jiuxian and Tian Yin were both inside the starship, with the protective shield raised to its maximum, yet they were still left dizzy and disoriented.
Tian Yin in particular nearly collapsed headfirst onto the control console.
One could only imagine the pressure on those directly struck by the attack.
Even from five or six thousand kilometers away, the six A-ranks instantly toppled over, as fast as could be.
The remaining three Supremes struggled to hold on, their faces filled with horror. "An... artifact?"
Without the Three Powers Array's defensive system, the three of them definitely would not have withstood that blow.
Worse still, the two smaller Three Powers Arrays had completely collapsed, and their own Three Powers Array was on the verge of falling apart.
Under such circumstances, they no longer had the strength to control the attack they had just combined.
The formidable attack turned into countless specks of light that filled the sky, then gradually dimmed, lost their color, and vanished into the endless void.
It looked exactly like brief yet brilliant fireworks.
Only faint ripples of residual energy silently testified to the unimaginable danger that had just existed here.
The three Supremes had no intention of launching a second strike—their physical condition could not support another attack either.
